Sporadic wind gusts and hail would be possible, but watch issuance appears unlikely. DISCUSSION...Multiple thunderstorm complexes have developed across portions of central-southern NC southward through SC. These storms are percolating in an environment with 2500+ J/kg of MLCAPE amidst relatively weak 0-6-km shear (around 15 kts per area VADs). The uncapped, quite moist troposphere will support continued deep updraft development throughout the afternoon. Cold-pool consolidation should be tempered in the short-term by relatively warm downdraft production (due to high moisture), but some upscale growth seems possible in the next few hours given high expected coverage. This is consistent with ongoing convective trends in central NC and coastal SC as well as short-term numerical guidance. Should this occur, locally damaging wind gusts may be possible along with sporadic hail in the stronger cores. 35-40 kt gusts have also been reported with the thunderstorm complex moving through north-central GA. While this system is not well-depicted in numerical guidance, it may persist as it moves eastward along/ahead of a cold front into increasingly buoyant and uncapped air. This would bring a heightened threat of sporadic wind gusts, and perhaps local instances of hail, through eastern GA into SC in the next few hours. Despite increasing convective coverage, the potential for an organized severe threat appears rather limited, and watch issuance is not currently anticipated. ...Flournoy/Grams.. 07/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7Y-UioY2egfcEnxGdJgdFDkjs3vgINludGA36_PPkC--6V0cdBBynuGdWCRrjdbbwqRDOmiYE= P2OnWcZq3iaUZqG3jc$ for graphic product...
